Square-Enix is looking for a few good developers

The RPG giant is searching for new talent to help develop new battle systems, stories and games. Unfortunately you have to be in Tokyo to take the job and with a meager salary of 900 yen ($7.50) an hour is probably not worth relocating for. With a wage that low there is only one group of people Square-Enix is going to bring in, students. It is an interesting plan, bound to bring in young developers looking to get a head start. Also a group of fresh minds might bring in a new intellectual property or two, which could make the entire project worth it. This brings up an interesting strategy, should North American studios try a similar tactic and open their doors for new ideas?
